In the aftermath of a recession, the pressures on manufacturers are intense. There's a growing need to create more profitability from production lines while dealing with aggressive global competition and ensuring worker safety.
Many manufacturers see technology as a way to overcome these pressures, more specifically through connecting people, machinery and processes to build the ultimate Smart Factory of:-
- Integrated communications between individuals, teams and equipment
- Faster response to emergencies, more efficient crisis management
- Advanced robotics, 3D printing and order personalisation
